Been enjoying the SQ5 quite a lot lately. Haven't hit the 155mph limiter yet but last night I took it up to 150 on the way back from a night out, I think that's enough going really fast for a while lol. Outstanding highway cruiser though.

Also figured out how to use VCDS/OBDEleven to air out the suspension all the way last time I visited parents:

Looks :neat: but it's a bit of a pain to drop and then raise back up. You have to pop the hood for the suspension control module to allow connection and it takes a couple mins to go each way, but cool nonetheless. Prob won't do it too often, you can't drive it when it's sitting aired out like that.

Looks more like a hatchback or wagon at that height which is amusing. Also with it not having running boards for me to stand on while washing it I think this is the only way other than a ladder that I'll be able to reach the center of the roof :lolol:

Decided I was driving the Audi too much and took the Miata out for the weekend trip to visit parents about an hour away and go to Orlando Cars and Coffee.

:cheese: hit 100000 miles on the way home last night

SQ5 got its first mod the other day, some lowering links to offset the height sensors for the air suspension. Dropped it by about an inch all around. I washed it tonight and forgot how much the blue pops when clean.

Depending on how it rides I may lower it or raise it a half inch, but it currently feels just as good as stock. Gonna give it a week before I make any further decisions. Comfort mode’s height is now what Dynamic used to be, and dynamic is what is above.

This is a before pic in Dynamic:

:dat: especially combining the yellow miata and the red z3, probably has the most color in the neighborhood than what i see on my daily commute these days looking like a 1950's black and white tv

New camera means new Cheese content while I dial in settings. Trying to get the film look (Kodak Portra and Gold) with this Panasonic GH5 II that the Fujifilm X-T20 did so effortlessly with the film simulations. Film grain looks overdone on this "low" setting :dafuq:

Really need to clean up the headlights. Picked up a Griot's G9, some Rupes pads, and Rupes polishing compound about 2 months ago but have yet to use any of it. Also need to swap on that NC3 bumper, get new sideskirts, and get new driver side door/window trim.

Kinda been :aintcare: and just driving the thing as it is. This week was the first real good bit of convertible weather in FL for the year I think.

Nice man, no shame in the bolded. Driving is more fun than wrenching. Modding is fun but also a zero sum game.
